They will ensure that the gap is tight enough to prevent burglars and other cats from getting in. Installing the sensor close to the hinge of the flap will ensure that it has to open a considerable distance before the sensor is triggered. This will prevent it from being triggered by additional swings, and also stop your cat from scratching at the flap to gain access.
If you have a sash window the installer might need to remove it prior to installing the cat flap and will need to assess whether the space is suitable for the installation of a pet flap. Older styles of sash window that use putty instead of beads, are not suitable for a cat's flap as they are too narrow and have a limited space between the two glass surfaces.
After the installation is completed after which it is recommended to secure the catflap with bolts or latches to prevent your pet from leaving the home unattended. This will stop the cat from escaping into areas that they do not want to be and provide you with peace of mind that your pet is safe and secure at home even when you are out.
Be Safe
The best method to protect a window is by using an locking mechanism that stops the window from opening. You can also install shutters or a security bar to prevent access. Window locks can be bought in most home improvement stores and can be easily fitted into your windows. These locks are usually weak but they can be opened with a minimum of effort. Upgrade to a stronger shutter or lock for greater security.

Modern cat flaps come in a variety of sizes and come with features that let you control the time when the flap is used. For instance you can lock the flap at night or allow usage 'in. They can be fitted to double-glazed windows as well. It is important to hire an expert installer if you wish to have a cat flap installed in your triple glazing. This is because it requires a brand new sealed unit to be manufactured and the hole for the pet flap will be cut into the two glass sheets when it is made.
If you have a window that is too high to install a cat door it, you can install an incline, step or purpose made stairs to help your pets gain access. They are a great alternative to traditional cat doors that can be adapted as your cats get older.
You can also increase the security of your windows by installing a burglar alarm. They are usually paired with a motion sensor that will trigger an alarm if an intruder attempts to break into your home through the window. Some burglars may even attempt to climb trees through a open window so ensure that the tree's limbs are cut back and can't be used to gain entry to your property through a second-floor window.
Upvc windows are usually secure when closed. The lock uPVC secures the casement to the frame. There is an opening between the frame and the window when it is locked in vent mode, however, this gap is far too small to permit anything rigid to pass through it.
Easy to clean
A window with a flap for cats is a great solution for many pet owners. It lets your pet move in and out at their convenience, while keeping your home secure and safe. It is easy to clean and maintain. There are a few points to keep in mind when purchasing a window that has a flap for cats.

Sash windows are the most popular with cat flaps. They can be opened or closed by sliding the sash either side of the frame. They come in a variety of sizes and styles and can be installed by a professional Glazier. However, they do not offer the same level of security as a multi-point or solid lock door and may not be suitable for large dogs.
In some instances, you might be able to put a screw into the frame of the window to keep it from being lifted and taken away. This is usually done with older style windows, and it works well. However, it leaves a small hole in the frame of the window that can be seen by anyone who wants to use the window for another purpose. A bit of caulking can often cover the small hole.
Window models are also available for sliding tamper-proof doors, which are more secure and easier to maintain. They can be put in on-site or by an experienced professional. They are ideal for horizontal sliding windows and sash windows. They are designed to be used with existing single-glazed doors and thin panels and are suitable for new double glazing as well.
A door frame seal that fits around the door for pets will also block drafts from entering. This is a cost-effective way to ensure that your cat does not go outside and keep your home warmer. It's easy to install, and is also suitable for all kinds of windows.
Easy to install
A window cat flap allows your cats to enter and exit the house without disturbing them. You will also save time and money by not having to open and close the door constantly. And your cat will love having the freedom to explore the world around them!
There are many ways to set up the flap for a cat in a window. One option is to purchase an already-installed unit. These are (usually) aluminum frames that are installed to existing windows. They are adjustable to fit a range of windows and are super simple to put in. You can also replace your current glass panel with one with the cat flap already installed. This is a more complicated installation, but the final result is more appealing than a cat flap inserted in an existing door.
Before you install the cat flap, it's important that you introduce your cat to it. This will help them become familiar with the shape and size of it, and they'll be less reluctant to use it. You can open the door at first, then gradually close it so that your cat is at ease.
It is recommended to remove the screen from your window prior to installing the cat flap to determine the hole. You'll need to make sure that the hole is circular shape and that the cat flap will fit inside it. Most of the time, you'll be able to accomplish this by following the manufacturer's instructions.
You can also request your glaziers to cut the cat-flap from an existing piece of glass. This can be a challenge and expensive, particularly in the case of double glazing. This is not the ideal solution if you are renting an apartment and want to be able to take it with you when you move.
You can also try a magnetic pet door. These are similar to the four-way flaps, but they are equipped with a microchip that ensures that only your cat is able to enter. They are generally more expensive than other types of pet doors, however they can be a great option if you're worried about animals from your neighbors getting into your house.
